Terramundi pots

[emily1982]

Has anyone heard of these? I need an 'Emily safe' way of saving my spending money for Disney and that means a money box which is difficult to put tweezers down to fish the coins out I like the idea of these pots but not the idea of smashing it after!

Hi emily, yes I have seen them in our local collectables store in Newcastle and the Metrocentre, not sure if I would like to smash it either, they are a nice thing though

Yes I have given a few of these as pressies - there are some pretty ones It is a shame you have to smash them - it makes me think twice about putting any money in

 

[emily1982]

Do they take long to fill? It says you can't smash them till their full, plus there about £18!!

 

[The Fetherstons]

They are quite large, depends on how much spare change you have

 

[emily1982]

mmm may have to think of something else then!

They are expensive, I wouldnt want to smash it though they look to nice, get yourself a nice money box and put in the £18 pound into it

Well i did have a money box with £20 of £2 coins and i kept fishing coins out so now i have £6 with some coppers and 5p's.

What I have done is collect the smaller coins - if I am passing the bank have gone in for a bag of 5 or 10 pences as I dont want to spend them so much I always have 5p in my purse so clear them out everyday - that sort of thing soon mounts up.

Another thing you could do is give it to your partner/mum/friend and let them know you are now allowed it back until a certain date.

That's a good idea giving it to someone. I also might get pop intot he garden centre and see if they have a strange shapes terracota pot and i might decorate it.

DP has one and suggested to her boss that they would be a good line in the gift shop
They are proving very popular.

You are supposed to make a wish and write a little note before you start to save. Then the first thing you do is buy a new one

If you save £1 coins expect about £400

My Neice got one as a wedding pressie filled with £200 and a note to smash in emergency - I think it stayed intact a week

I cant even remember the wish I posted in mine

 

[emily1982]

ooo i'd like a ready filled one!!!

 

[The Fetherstons]

They are a nice unusual idea as a gift

They sound like a great idea, i must keep an eye out for one
